The design of the 1919 Monument Marquee culminated through a design competition for honouring the 100 year anniversary of the events surrounding the Winnipeg general strike of 1919, a watermark event for industrialized labour. The large weathering steel cantilevered columns provide the opportunity for a covered gathering area open to all pedestrians of the City, while supporting a word search-like grid of letters full of layered meaning.
